MISSING THIS SHOW WILL BITE!
Don’t be the only one this Valentine’s Day missing this spine-tingling treat! Atlanta Ballet’s production of Bram Stokers’s Dracula will run from Thursday, February 5 through Sunday, February 15 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The Atlanta Ballet Orchestra will perform through the run of the show.
Set to a griping score with howls of wolves and haunting heartbeats, audiences follow the story of businessman Jonathan Harker to Transylvania and to his destined meeting with Count Dracula – a vampire who is a picture of courtly elegance and menacing force. Dracula casts spells over Jonathan, his fiancée Lucy, and her friend Mina.
Dracula is presented by Suntrust Bank. Tickets start as low as $15.00 and are available through Ticketmaster Arts Line at (404) 817-8700 or stop by any Ticketmaster outlet or the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center.

Seniors Shine at Georgia Youth Ballet's Nutcracker
Georgia Youth Ballet’s 13th annual performance of The Nutcracker this month will be the final Nutcracker for nine GYB dancers who are seniors in regional high schools. Robin Burton, Kara Cawley, Kelly Church, Keri Church, Pharan Evans, Nicole Henry, Hannah Skibiel, Kate Walker and Emily Ward (of Senoia) will dance the final four Nutcracker performances of their pre-professional careers this weekend at Sandy Creek High School’s Patriot Hall in Tyrone.
Overall, GYB is one of the only local ballet companies that tells the unabridged story of Clara, her feisty little brother Fritz, and the valiant service of Clara’s favorite toy Nutcracker as he comes to life and guides her through a winter fantasy of action, adventure and classical ballet, all set to the wonderful musical score of Tchaikovsky. GYB is a regional ballet company with more than 100 performers from seven south-metro counties. GYB’s Nutcracker is notable for its custom sets, costumes and choreography, all of which have been refined annually since the company was founded in 1996 in Fayetteville.
This year’s Nutcracker also marks GYB’s return to a Fayette County venue - Patriot Hall at Sandy Creek High School, 360 Jenkins Road in Tyrone (30290). Performances are Friday, December 12 at 7:30pm (Family night – all tickets $8), Saturday, December 13 at 2:30 and 8pm, and Sunday, December 14 at 2:30pm. Except for the Family night performance, all tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors 55 and over. Tickets are available at the door or by calling The Studio at (770) 716-9858.
